The opoponax scent is an alluring combination of sweet balsamic warmth and resinous, smoky depth, often referred to as the “sweet myrrh.” Its aroma evokes a sense of mystery and ancient luxury, making it a favorite in opulent fragrance creations.
Extracted from the resin of Commiphora trees, opoponax is rich in terpenoids, which lend it its signature balsamic sweetness. It is primarily a base note, adding longevity and depth to perfumes. Compared to myrrh, opoponax is softer, with a sweeter, almost amber-like finish that enriches blends with its warm embrace.
Ideal for enchanting candles, exotic incense, soothing body balms, and decadent room sprays, opoponax pairs beautifully with vanilla, patchouli, and floral notes for a captivating and harmonious scent.
